Mysore tonga

Cart-driver and his horse find welcome relief in the shade from the punishing heat during summer. Horse-drawn two-wheeler, called 'tonga', is a vanishing mode of transport on Mysore streets.
My post for Camera Critters, Shadow Shot, SOOC and Scenic Sunday.

  11. If I were horse and human, I'd stay in that shade until sundown!

    WONDERFUL NONSENSE

    A shadow’s a wonderful thing;
    O listen! Can you hear it sing?
    It tells of a time
    Before there was crime—
    Trust that and you’ll trust anything!
